September 2024 Monthly Meeting – The Day After: What Happens When the Digital Forensics People Show Up

The Day After:
Managers and Executives with Cybersecurity responsibility spend most of their focus on “preventative” controls; doing what they can to ensure the organization does not experience cybersecurity events. Talk to any one of them, however, and they will admit it is probably not a case of “if” but rather “when” such an event will occur. Many will also admit that they are probably not properly prepared for the aftermath of such an event, particularly in regard to determining exactly what happened and the extent of the compromise. Thus, many will reach out to outside consultants who will need to be supported in this mission.
Would your organization be ready to support them in this critical endeavor at such a highly stressful time? Join us for this session, led by experienced experts, where we will explore best practices to help prepare for such incidents before they occur. Don’t miss out on what promises to be an important and informative lecture and discussion.
